HTTP to HTTPS redirect

Pavel · ‎09-27-2014

Good day to everyone! I faced a real problem with publishing sites with my Fortigate 100D. I have a web-server that published with http port 80. I need to redirect all http trafic to https. We are migrating from Forefront TMG and there I could do this by adding aditional listener on the 443 port and redirecting whole traffic to it. Can I do this with Fortigate 100D? Well actually there is no problem with publishing 80 port by VIPs but I have no idea how to redirect it.. I' ve tried everything but it doesn' t works... Please, help me!

HTTP to HTTPS redirect was added to 6.2.1 Code you can terminate 443 on the fortigate or just pass 443 all the way to the server. This link shows how to terminate/offload 443 on the fortigate https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.0/cookbook/304594/http-to-https-redirect-for-load-b... here is a link to offloading https://help.fortinet.com/fos50hlp/54/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-load-balancing-52/ldb-ssl-tls-offloa... if you want to just pass 443 to the server and not terminate the session on the fortigate

edit the vip

"virtual-server-https" ---> set server-type tcp

we can redirect other ports like 8080

using http

edit "virtual-server-http"

set extport 80

to

set extport 8080

be sure to use proxy mode

I tried with the help of tech support to accomplish this and couldn't get it to work. I'm not doing load balancing, just redirect. DW_FTNT can you explain further? The guide suggests setting to http not TCP. Further I don't understand the rest of your post.
